No one likes a cheater and most of the time, they get caught. With the explosion of location-based social games such as Foursquare and Gowala, the cheaters have found their way around the loopholes to rack up points and badges like they were going out of style.

Today, Foursquare via their blog, announced today that checkins outside the immediate vicinity of the venue in question will no longer net points, badges or mayorships.
